My mom likes to tell the story of how when I was a small child I would spend all day exclaiming "Look at dat! Look at dat! Mama, Mama, look at DAT!" I kept her busy and delighted all day with my wonder, delight and curiosity about, literally, everything. Then at night before I went to sleep I would recite to myself the names of all the things I had discovered during the day.

Today my greatest delight as an artist, writer, spiritual counselor and healer is when I can shine a light on some part of existence that makes people light up like a Christmas Tree.
